We offer a "Implementing databases with PostgreSQL" course that requires
no knowledge of SQL, acronyms, or Linux. However, we haven't scheduled
it on our public calendar for quite some time, since we haven't had many
requests for the course (we schedule public courses based on our
perceived demand). However, based on your request I'll see if we can't
get it on our calendar - though it probably won't be until the 2008
calendar year. :-(

We love to drive adoption of PostgreSQL whenever possible.... :-)
